The woman I loved left me on the thirteenth.
Thirteen months of living together and she walked out the door without looking back, straight into another man’s arms.
She was kind enough to leave something to remind me of her: thirteen thousand pounds worth of debt.

Thirteen; the day I lost my nuts.
Well, I didn’t lose them, cancer took them from me. Better to be a man without balls than one without life.
Still, thirteen sucked… until it didn’t.

Until her.
Thirteen might just be my new lucky number.

*Thirteen is book #4 in the ‘Love by Numbers’ series. It is interconnected but can be read as a standalone.*

Eli Carter is a mum of three from the U.K.
She is a stay-at-home mum and a part-time advocate for families of children with special needs.
Her life is pretty manic, and she often gets asked, “How do you find the time to write?”
The answer is simple; she never sleeps, but not from lack of trying.
Reading and writing are her therapy, her solace and often the one thing that gets her through the long nights. (That and copious amounts of caffeine and sugar!)
She loves to connect with readers, so please feel free to friend/follow her on Facebook, IG and Twitter or join her reader’s group, E’s Elite ❤

I was really intrigued by the blurb, about this guy who went through so much, a following bad luck circumstances leading to the number thirteen.

How a guy could endure so much? How in his bad luck could be make it?

By sarcasm and tons of humor! The tone of the book surprised me, totally unexpected. No self pity or depressing mood, just an amazing story about two broken people, through their differences make it together.

Harry endured so much in his life. All those events made him insecure, feeling less than a man trying to find a balance in his life. Unsuccessfully. He’s kinda lost and was hiding his sorrow and pain by his playful, joyful behavior.

Delilah was also hit hard by life, by her condition and also her divorce. Deeply affected by her past, she was also acting. Hiding it all, not showing any weakness, because she couldn’t let anyone seeing it. Until a guy named Harry with a banana mobile came into her life, making her swoon and hot!

The two of them? Sparks will fly! They made such an endearing couple, getting together by fate, like these two destined to meet after experiencing the bad. Harry was a perfect guy to woo Delilah, to show how beautiful she was, no matter what. They were each other’s reflexion, with a challenging banter, trying to ease the pain and sadness.

And for once, these two lovebirds got it bad so quickly, that the situation might be insane, leading to some hilarious and sweet moments. They were each other missing piece, the author managed well how to get the two of them into this crazy adventure, writing a new chapter in their lives.

Of course, nothing is easy and each other was scared to show their true colors, especially Delilah. She was the strong, toughest girl Harry had to meet, but even in their hardest and darkest times, them had each other’s back. As friends but mostly as lovers.

A banter off the charts, a chemistry like no one else, a terrific story written with sensibility, full of laughter, a few poignant moments and a great storyline. Finding love is possible for anyone, even for those who didn’t believe in it.
